Silent K: Millie's Kitchen

Welcome to Millie’s Kitchen, where Grandma Bea sits by the window knitting a cozy scarf! Butter knives wait on the table, and balls of yarn sit in a basket on the floor.

Remember: When a word starts with the letters k and n, the k is silent: you write it, but you only say the n sound. Knife, knee, knot, knit, knock and know all start with a silent k: “Grandma Bea likes to knit.”

Magic trick: Knock, knock! Who’s there? The silent k! It sits at the front of knife, knee, knot and knit, keeping very, very quiet.
